M16 - The Eagle Nebula and The Pillars of Creation
The Pillars of Creation is the most famous image taken by the Hubble telescope. I remember seeing the 1995 original photo on a magazine when I was younger, and it was probably at that time that I began to love astronomy. Back when I started Astrophotography last year, without even having a telescope, M16 was very well positioned in the September night sky, but I couldn't capture it with my little tripod and DSLR.After waiting almost a year for our Earth to complete its turn around our sun again, M16 finally re-appeared.
I hope that one day I can afford a CCD camera to be able to redo this target and capture all the nebulosity of the Eagle.
